MVP Colony, named after the old village of Muvvalavani Palem, is one of Vizag’s largest planned residential neighbourhoods, close to the sea between RK Beach and Kailasagiri. It is organised into sectors with markets, schools, parks and a growing number of cafés and restaurants, and it is popular with families, professionals and students aged 18 and over. For Myra members, MVP Colony offers comfortable, local first dates, with the beach and hilltop parks only a few minutes away. Introductions here often include people from Lawsons Bay Colony, Venkojipalem, Isukathota, Siripuram and Sagar Nagar, depending on your distance limit. The neighbourhood has a friendly, community feel, and many members appreciate meeting someone who lives nearby. A coffee in one of the sector markets, followed by a walk on the beach at Lawsons Bay, is a relaxed first date. Kailasagiri, the hilltop park with views over the coast, is close by and makes a lovely later outing. Evenings in the sector markets are lively but rarely overcrowded. Mornings are calm here too, when walkers head to the beach and the cafés serve breakfast to a relaxed crowd. During Sankranti and Dasara, the sector markets are decorated and lively, which makes an evening walk festive, though a quieter day suits a first meeting better. The colony was developed in the 1980s by the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority, and its sectors are numbered from one to twelve, each with its own small market, temple and park. Residents often describe it as a town within the city, where neighbours know each other and evening walks follow the same familiar loops.
